If McGarigle has any pride at all, he
must have been excited to the verge of
vanity, when he saw how easy it was to

he coolly slipped into a yawl and was
rowed away into Canada waters on the

RAILROAD INVESTIGATION.
SENATOR STANFORD APPEARS
BEFORE TIE COMMISSION.
And Freely Proffers Inspection o.. all
Books and Accounts, Which cur
prises the investigat .,rs.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 2d.--The petition of
the Pacific Railway Commission was presented
before the Circuit Court this morning TIE or
der to show cause why an order should not be
granted directing Frank G. oouty to produce
the books demanded by the Commission was
grspted by Judge Sawyer and made returnable
at Il o'clock tomorrow morning before Justice
Fseld and Judges Sawyer and Hoffman.
The examination was resumed by the Rail
way Commission at the Palace Hotel soon after
10 A. NJ. Senator Stanford appeared and re-
sumed his testimony, He began by presenting
a statement of the financial aid received from
| the Government TO construct the Central Pacific
Railroad He said, as preliminary to this that
| he inferred from remarks made by the Commits
sioners that they did not think in receiving this
aid that the Central Pacific Company occupied
| toward the Government the position of an in
| dependent contracting party, but was, in some
| way, acting as an agent in fduciary capacity.
| The Courts have repeatedly held that the bonds
| and lands granted by the Government became
| the property of the company upon compliance
| with the Acts. Several actions have been pros
ecuted by the United States upon the theory that
| the Government could compel an accounting
| with the Central Pacific for the disposition of
| the bonds issued by the United States. He
quoted all opinion OF the Supreme Court of the
1 United States in which this theory was over
turned and an accounting refused. This deci-
| sion was rendered in a Connecticut case. The
| same doctrine was affirmed by the Court of
| Claims, and ia constituting the Thurman Act the
| Supreme Court all through assumed that the
aided roads were private property. Nor was it
decided that Congress had power to change the
| contract, but 1t was argued by the Court that
the provision for a sinking fund did not inter
| fere with the rights of the company nor require
payment for it before the maturity of the bonds.
| RESOURCES AND THEIR VALUES.
| Senator Stanford then submitted the follow
Ing list of resources of the Central and Western
ID,n
! originally contributed by the promoters of the
| enterprise, up to December 81, 1869:

IT is related that three Buffalo physi-
clans have discovered an antidete for
morphine poisoning. A man who had
taken an overdose of the drug was given
over for dead after all usual expedients
had been tried 1t then occurred to the
attending doctors that artificial respira-
ton might be tried with some faint hope
of restoration. The wind-pipe was opened,
and tube inserted, the bellows used being
such as is employed in viyisection to keep
an animal alive. By this means Drs. Fell.
Campbell and Michael kept the lungs
filled with fresh oxygen, and at once a
change took place in the unconscious form
and in few hours the man was revived
and out of danger. Assuming the story to
be true, it is a most important discovery.

With the foregoing funds the road was built
to Ogden, s6o.66 miles, or $4,000 per mile. They
could not expect any more than this for there
was no more to eXpend. The witness said En-
gineer Judah estimated that the road would
cost $4,000 per mile, and other engineers
thought it could not be built for less than SlOO
OO0 mile. lie thought no Board of Engineers
taking into consideration all tn circumstances
would put a lower estimate on the cost or esti-
mate that Ss5, GOO per mile was unreasonable
The first mortgage bonds and the Government
bonds granted realized 81 4S5 000, so that if the
Government aid and the product of the first
mortgage bonds had alone been sufi;cie to
build the road, it would have cost about SIS, 900
per mile. He therefore argued that even if the
Central Pacific Company was compelled to ac-
count for its expenditures to the Government
this would show that the aid granted was in
sufficient TO build the road, and that upon that
basis The Government should make good the
deficiency.

IT his been accepted as fact that the
United States has not produced any orig j
rial acceptable architectural column. But
Eugene Ashton, in the Magazine Of Amer
ican History for August, shows that this is
error As matter of fact there are col
umns in the vestibule of the Capitol at
Washington, beneath the Office of the Mar
shall of the Supreme Court, that are not
only wholly original and American, but
are distinguished by remarkable grace and
loyalty to the lines of beauty. The pillars
consist Of cornstalks, free from leaf, so ar
ranged that the joints of one stalk stand a
little above the preceding one, and THIS
produce spiral effect, band-like, around
the column. The capitals are composed Of
ears of corn, rith partly opened masks.
The originates of these columns was Ben
iamin Henry Latrobe, at one time archi-
tect of the Capitol. The design of the
pillars has been attributed to PresideiSt
Jefferson, but Ashton, by producing letter
from Latrobe to the President, dated Gu-
gust IS, 1909, proves Latrobe TO have been
| the originator. 1t Is true, however that
Jefferson had spoken to Latrobe of the
lack ii individuality in cur public build
ings and asked why he did not conven-
! tioRllize some of or native vegetation
\ into appropriate celtmnar designs. Call
| iRg attention to these columns, which
stand in portion of the National Capitol
Ettle visited, may have the effect of sti mt
Eating American architects to act upon
.>Jefferson's idea, and give us something
more of architectural form that will be

suggestions wholly American.
